The effect of partial shading on the reliability of photovoltaic modules in the built-environment

EPJ Photovoltaics
Residential photovoltaic systems often experience partial shading from chimneys, trees or other structures, which can induce hot-spots in the modules. If the temperature and frequency of these hot-spots are high, the module's reliability and safety may ...

Hot spots become cold spots: coevolution in variable temperature environments

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2016
AbstractAntagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites is a key process in the genesis and maintenance of biological diversity. Whereas coevolutionary dynamics show distinct patterns under favourable environmental conditions, the effects of more realistic, variable conditions are largely unknown.

Pyramidal Structures on Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia after High Temperature Exposure at 1500°C: New Features on an Old Material

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
New features on yttria‐stabilized zirconia after exposure at 1500°C: Newly discovered pyramidal structures on an old material. After exposure at 1550°C on the cross section of YSZ new features, namely pyramidal structures are discovered. These structures grow with time, increase in numbers, appear as singularities, are often arranged in strings, and ...

Solid‐State Diffusion and Intermetallic Phase Formation in Roll‐Bonded Mg–Zn Composites With Kirigami‐Patterned Inlay

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mg–Zn composites with a thickness of 0.21 mm were fabricated using roll bonding of a kirigami‐patterned Mg alloy inlay within a Zn matrix. Thermal activation following this process led to the formation of tailored intermetallic structures, which provided the composite with enhanced flexural strength.

Control of the Hot Spot Temperature in an Industrial SO2 Converter

Energy Procedia, 2013
AbstractThis study addresses the problem of controlling by simulation the magnitude of the maximal catalyst temperature, or hot spot, in a four catalyst beds SO2 converter by manipulating the reaction mixture volumetric flow rate. The control of the maximal catalyst temperature is carried out in order to avoid the occurrence of a hot spot inside the ...

Hydrogen‐Assisted Fracture of Iron‐Based Fe–Ni–Al Alloys

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Principal relations and fracture mechanisms of single‐phase and precipitate‐strengthened Fe–Ni–Al alloys subjected to prior electrochemical hydrogen charging are identified. The mechanisms of hydrogen effect on strength and microhardness are discussed, including hydrogen‐induced increase in microhardness and the role of hydrogen in fracture behavior ...
